Hi Claude, I haven't seen that specific problem before but I have seen OpenEV hang on Windows at the file Open dialog. It happens when GTK tries to get a list of the drives on the PC but one of a network drive is not accessible. Eventually it times out after a minute or two. I'm not sure how long you have tried waiting, but you could trying leaving it for a while to see if whatever is hung eventually times out. Other thoughts: - Try running gvtest.exe (usually in the Openev\bin directory). This is a very basic version of OpenEV written entirely in C (no Python). If it works then you know OpenEV, GTK and OpenGL are working, and it may be something at the Python level that is broken. - Try running OpenEV\pymod\testmain.py - you will need to setup your environment with something like the openev.bat script otherwise you will get a gtk.dll error. - Where did your OpenEV build come from? Does the problem happen with both the FW Tools build, and the version from SourceForge? - You may have already asked this question, but has anything on the PC changed recently that might give a clue as to the problem? (new video drivers, newly installed software or hardware?) - If you don't mind getting into the Python code a bit, look at OpenEV\pymod\openev.py and try putting some print statements or tracing though the functions to narrow down where it is getting hung. That's all I can think of for now. It's certainly a strange problem, and one that I have never encountered before.
